5.0 Quake Hits Southern Mexico, No Damage Reported<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe U.S. tsunami warning system issued alerts for possible waves along the coasts of Mexico and Guatemala, although authorities have not yet confirmed any casualties or damage following the quake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The epicenter was located 48 kilometers southwest of Aquiles Serdan, in the municipality of Huixtla, Chiapas, at a depth of 10 kilometers, which increased the intensity felt at the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The USGS classified the earthquake as \u201cvery strong,\u201d with moderate to severe shaking in the coastal region near the epicenter. Mountains protected cities further east, reducing the impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Guatemalan Seismological Service reported a magnitude of 7.3 and indicated that the closest municipal seat to the epicenter was Ocos, in San Marcos, near the border with Chiapas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El Salvador\u2019s Environment Ministry ruled out a tsunami alert, while Mexico confirmed aftershocks in the area, including one of magnitude 6.5 recorded just over 30 minutes after the main earthquake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mexican Navy Secretary Raymundo Morales indicated that there is no serious problem and that only a rise of up to half a meter in the water level is expected at some beaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Mexico City government reported that \u201ceverything is normal\u201d and that the seismic alert was not activated, as the tremor did not reach the necessary intensity in the capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
